All has not been effectively with struggle. From the few hours I’ve performed to date, Mordhau may be probably the greatest multiplayer sword ’em ups since Chivalry – however its Monday launch went about as easily as a cost beneath scorching pitch. Developers Triternion have apologised for the issues, mounted some points that stopped XP and gold rewards from being distributed, and made it so you’ll be able to truly unlock stuff within the Armory now. They additionally say they’re “looking into ways to compensate players for their troubles”.
The close to non-functioning matchmaking queue stays bothersome, and each official and customized servers appear susceptible to intermittent stuttering.
Triternion’s apology comes via Reddit, the place they blame surprising recognition. “First and foremost an apology to all players from our entire team. The current state of the game is not the one we wanted you to experience at launch. It might sound cliché, but we were not able to keep up with the rapidly growing playerbase in this short amount of time.”
I’ve spent roughly fifteen minutes within the official matchmaking queue, unfold out over the previous few days. In that point I’ve managed to affix a server as soon as. It was a 64-player battle royale server with just one different swordboy. That’s a disgrace, as a result of I’m quietly fairly excited a few melee-only homicide royale. Mordhau’s fight is among the tensest and tactical-iest I’ve but seen, with a flashy new parrying system and unprecedentedly satisfying slicey sounds. But that pressure tends to get misplaced within the chaos of massive staff brawls, the place finesse takes a again seat to opportunistic assaults on unaware or outnumbered enemies.
The server browser principally works high quality, and I’m glad to see loads of deathmatch games hosted with “duel only” of their title. The devs do additionally point out that their “top priority right now is to iron out the stability problems with our official servers, as well as bugs with the matchmaker.”
I’ll let you understand how I get on when my Mordhau evaluation goes up early subsequent week.
